Hydra is affilliated with the following programs and organisations:
The Hydra coordinater FhG FIT is a member of ARTEMISIA, the association for R&D actors in the field of ARTEMIS: Advanced Research & Technology for EMbedded Intelligence and Systems.
The Hydra middleware allows developers to create inclusive applications with a high degree of accessibility for all. The Hydra project supports the Commissions campaign: eInclusion - be part of it!
The Hydra project is part of the Cluster of European projects on the Internet of Things. The Cluster aims to promote a common vision of the Internet of Things.

AMI is concerned with new multimodal technologies to support human
interaction, in the context of instrumented meeting rooms and remote
meeting assistants. The project aims to enhance the value of multimodal
meeting recordings and to make human interaction more effective in real
time. These goals are being achieved by developing new tools for
computer supported cooperative work and by designing new ways to search
and browse meetings as part of an integrated multimodal group
communication, captured from a wide range of devices.
This Integrated Project addresses a wide range of
critical multi-disciplinary activities and applications, including:
multimodal input interfaces (primarily speech and visual input);
integration of modalities and coordination among modalities, e.g.
(asynchronous) multi-channel processing; meeting dynamics and
human-human interaction modelling; content abstraction, including
multimodal information indexing, summarising, and retrieval; technology
transfer; and training activities, including an international exchange
programme.
Relevance to HYDRA:
Modelling approaches addressed by AMI project can bring the usefull
knowledge for design of multimodal interfaces in HYDRA project, mainly
in area of multi-chanel signal processing, multimodal information
modelling, information retrieval and content abstraction.
The Hydra project is co-funded by the
